About FreeFlow Diving

FreeFlow Diving is East Timor's first PADI Dive Resort. Established in 2000 by Wayne Lovell and Ann Turner, we are the longest running Dive Centre in the country. We are dedicated to safe diving practices, protection of the marine environment and diver education.

FreeFlow Diving has trained more than 2000 divers, from beginners to DiveMasters. We have trained members of the PNTL (Marine Police Unit), staff of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and are currently undergoing a project to train upto 10 members of the F-FDTL (Navy) to PADI Open Water and Oxygen Provider level. All FreeFlow diving instructors are PADI Instructors and all courses are PADI courses.

We operate a Coltri-Sub compressor, a travelling Bauer Mariner compressor (with 1 back-up Bauer) and more than 70 twelve-litre aluminium cylinders. We take First Aid kits and oxygen on all courses and dive excursions. We also advise visiting divers to get diving insurance with a company such as DAN (Divers Alert Network).

"Wayne Lovell from FreeFlow Dive is one of the best underwater operators in the country - and we use him regularly"

"Ms. Turner and Mr. Wayne have been authentic, sincere and contributed significantly to the development of our nation. They are precisely the type of people that we need to attract and keep in Timor-Leste"
